* '''blastema''' - Term used to describe a mass of undifferentiated cells. (More? [[W#Wilms_tumour|Wilm's tumour]]) | * '''blastema''' - Term used to describe a mass of undifferentiated cells. (More? [[W#Wilms_tumour|Wilm's tumour]]) | ||
* '''Bowman's capsule''' - (capsula glomeruli, glomerular capsule) Surrounds the glomerulus within the nephron with a vascular and urinary pole and is the beginning of the tubular component. Named in 1842 after Sir William Bowman (1816 – 1892) an English surgeon and anatomist. | * '''Bowman's capsule''' - (capsula glomeruli, glomerular capsule) Surrounds the glomerulus within the nephron with a vascular and urinary pole and is the beginning of the tubular component.

* '''Brenner hypothesis''' - a clinical hypothesis that states, individuals with a congenital reduction in nephron number have a much greater likelihood of developing adult hypertension and subsequent renal failure. Developed in the 1980's by [https://nephrology.ucsf.edu/about/hist-brenner.html Barry Brenner] at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, this also fits with the [[Abnormal Development - Developmental Origins of Health and Disease|DOHAD hypothesis]].

Named after Named after Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle (1809–1885) a German anatomist. | * '''loop of Henle''' - Nephron region spanning from the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule.

* '''macula densa''' - Columnar cell cluster appearing as a dense row of cell nuclei where the straight portion of the distal tubule contacts the glomerulus. Region also in close contact with the efferent and afferent arterioles of the glomerulus and involved in sodium chloride regulation. | * '''macula densa''' - Columnar cell cluster appearing as a dense row of cell nuclei where the straight portion of the distal tubule contacts the glomerulus.

* '''podocyte''' - (visceral epithelial cell) kidney glomerulus cell forming the main component of the glomerular filtration barrier. (glomerular podocyte) Kidney epithelial cell type in the nephron (kidney functional unit) located in the glomerulus. Podocytes form the visceral layer of Bowman's capsule and are at the filtration barrier between capillary blood and the nephron tubular system and function to ultrafiltrate blood, and support glomerular capillary pressures. The differentiation of podocytes involves the formation of cellular foot processes and then the slit membrane. | * '''podocyte''' - (visceral epithelial cell) kidney glomerulus cell forming the main component of the glomerular filtration barrier.
